Hi Susan,
I don't mind the listserve, but I could train myself to switch over to
Facebook, I guess.

Subject: [mea] MEA listserve feedback: Speak now! Re: How useful do you find
the MEA listserve?
Greetings all,
This is a gentle reminder that the MEA executive is discussing the future of
the listserve. Is this still a useful discussion tool? Would it be better to
close the listserve, perhaps shifting discussion to our Facebook space?
Basically, the listserve doesn't seem to be used as much as in years past,
perhaps due to changing technology and a natural turnover in membership.
Please share your thoughts now, if you haven't done so already.
Thanks,
Susan Peters

A couple of things. I will be at Monday's meeting. I want to ask some ?s around
the Whine and Dine. I'll think about listserv.
Also, I paid my membership at the Christmas party but don't have a receipt,
unless one went to my old email address.
I look forward to seeing you,
Mel

Hello all,
Changing technology and a natural turnover in members means that the MEA’s
executive is considering the best way to communicate with and encourage
discussion between members.
What this means is that the MEA executive is wondering if the listserve is
still a useful discussion forum for members. The listserve doesn’t seem to be
widely used by current members of the MEA. And in general, the volume of
messages is lower than in years past.
In your opinion, is the MEA listserve still a useful tool? Or is it time to
close the listserve?
As an alternative to the listserve, discussion could happen on the MEA’s
Facebook page, or on a blog on the MEA website. We're also open to other
options.
Finally, I remind interested members to renew their MEA membership, as we’re
currently in the middle of a membership drive.
What do you think?
